Any advice on what products to use to keep those grey laminate floors clean and shiny?

[@cananasi1561]

We use it!

[@thegalexfamily]

This is awesome. I was thinking we have to smash our walls to do it.

[@mickey7718]

Terence, we recently moved into a house where the previous owner installed this exact same model. However, he (or his not-so-good contractor) installed it FLUSH to the dining room wall. That means that the heat has no place to go but inside the wall. I can only assume that this is a really bad fire hazard, don't you think? The unit isn't even secured inside the wall cutout, you can actually pull the unit out and have it hang partially away from the wall if you want to use the heater. I don't prefer to do that because it looks terrible. Instead I have taped over the heater/on button on the remote to insure that no one attempts to turn the heater on without my knowledge.

[@TerenceDIY]

Yes it can be a fire hazard! This model is NOT designed to be installed recessed. Please keep the heat off. I apologize for the bad contractor work. I wish I could help. Thank you SO much for watching!

[@alipanjwani574]

This was really helpful! Thanks. Do you have videos of how you did the rest of the house too?

[@TerenceDIY]

Hi Ali, sorry for the late reply. Yes, there are quite a few videos of things I did to that house. I even uploaded a video of the job when I finished it. Thanks for watching!

[@rosiedepew3587]

So quick question ... we have one that we want to remove from the wall ... would we just reverse your install steps?

[@TerenceDIY]

Yep! Very simple to remove. Thanks for watching!

[@sukafreecity]

[@TerenceDIY]

Thank you. Thanks for watching!

[@lisatredman1408]

Great video! What's the key to hiding the electrical cord?

[@TerenceDIY]

I guess you have to become creative when hiding it 🙂. I did another video on a newer model where I install an outlet in the vicinity of the tv and fireplace so both plugs are hidden. Thank you SO much for watching!

[@V4086]

After mounting the fireplace if I install a TV on top how many inches from the TV and fireplace is safe?

[@TerenceDIY]

At least 16" preferably 20". Thanks for watching!

[@juliechu5654]

Hi Terence, first, thank you so much for the video! Can I follow your instructions to install the electrical fireplace under a window? The window has standard frames around it that stick out of the wall a bit which might interfere with the heat from the heater. That also means there is nothing behind that wall. Outside that window/wall is the street. If it is ok to do so, how far apart should the heater be away from the window? If I can ask, where are you located? Thanks!

[@TerenceDIY]

Hi Julie, Sorry for the delayed response. You can absolutely install it underneath a window. As far as distance, there is nothing to damage it unless rain is able to come through the window. If not, I guess you will have to decide where it looks best for you. Maybe in the middle of the window and the floor? The heat will rise so no worries about that. I am located in Chicago. Any more questions don't hesitate to ask. Thanks for watching!

[@a.girl.has.many.plants3743]

Looks great!!! Question: I want to add 2 bookcases on each side of the fireplace and a wall mounted TV above the fireplace whats the least amount of space needed?

[@TerenceDIY]

You want the TV to be at least 20" above the fireplace and the book shelves can be as close as a 12". Thanks for watching!

[@Alejandragonzalez-qq9wy]

Have you installed that same one but 72 “? Asking because just bought one but I’m thinking the bracket is missing

[@TerenceDIY]

Nope, the largest I installed was a 60". The video is on the channel.

[@rickblood84]

I rly want the Puraflame Alice 50”... But ONLY wall recessed... Thought about trying to hang it tho... When they say recessed only can you still possibly hang it?

[@TerenceDIY]

Hi King, it will not look right if it's recessed only. They are designed to be recessed in a wall closure for aesthetics.

[@jonesc12]

Just curious how you like this particular fireplace model after a couple months of use. There are a lot on the market of differing quality. Is it realistic looking? Decent temperature output? Great vid as always

[@TerenceDIY]

It's a really nice fireplace. EVERYONE that walks into the house LOVES it! Many compliments. The heat output is surprisingly good too! Thanks for watching!

[@danuiselt9703]

Hey ur video is very helpful but on the one I got it’s says to open the fireplace and u plug data cable befor install do u kno what that is ??

[@TerenceDIY]

Yes, those are the newer models. It's a thin wired cable that plugs into the circuit board via connector. It has pinch connectors on each side if I'm not mistaken. It's very easy to remove.

[@NiaDiamond00]

If I don’t place the screw in a stud, will the white thing that spreads keep it in place?

[@TerenceDIY]

Hi Nia, if you're using that type of wall anchor, it's design to hold the screw into to the drywall without hitting the stud. I would highly recommend the anchors I used in this video. I have hung many fireplaces using them and I have a 100 percent success rate. Thank you so much for watching.

[@jaysav8958]

Can you frame around this fireplace so it's not just free hanging ?

[@TerenceDIY]

Hi Jacob, sorry for the late response. It will be better to buy one that requires a recessed install than to frame around one like this. Thanks for watching!

[@yolandaspencer2509]

How do I know if I can install my fireplace on a wall with bathtub faucet on opposite side of wall?? Please help

[@TerenceDIY]

Will the fireplace be near water? If so, I would not recommend that install. However, if it will not be near water, just buy the Anchor screws. Here's a link for some at Amazon. www.amazon.com/Hillman-377631-Borefast-Drywall-Anchors/dp/B09WFRB16L/ref=asc_df_B09WFRB16L/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=563607559659&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15269094539494415382&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9021629&hvtargid=pla-1653183675963&psc=1

Hello Where did you purchase that fireplace ? And is it safe to mount a 4k tv above it ?

[@TerenceDIY]

Hi Sylvia, sorry for the late response. If you mount a TV about it, I would place it at least 2ft. above it. The heat rises from the top of the fireplace. I bought the fireplace from a friend that never used it because he sold his house.

[@Packer1290]

I was wondering how these were mounted. Ideally, it would look the best to recess it but I have to think then you’d have to cut out numerous studs then almost frame it with 4x4’s to support the studs above it. Seems like a lot to mount a fireplace.
